The following describes the camera module provided in the embodiments of this application through embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 FIG. 3 FIG. 100 200 300 510 610 400 620 520 Referring toto, an embodiment of this application discloses a camera module, the disclosed camera module includes a base frame, a lens, a photosensitive chip, a first substrate, a first driving mechanism, a first guide post, a second substrate, a second guide post, and a second driving mechanism.

100 610 100 610 100 300 610 300 610 300 100 610 The base frameprovides a mounting foundation for other components of the camera module. The first guide postis disposed on the base frame, and in this case, the first guide postis fixed on the base frame. The first substrateis movably connected to the first guide post, and the first substratecan move along an extension direction of the first guide post, that is, the first substratemoves relative to the base framealong the extension direction of the first guide post.

620 300 620 300 400 610 400 620 400 300 620 The second guide postis disposed on the first substrate, that is, the second guide postis fixed on the first substrate. The second substrateis movably connected to the first guide post, and the second substratemoves along an extension direction of the second guide post. That is, the second substratemoves relative to the first substratealong the extension direction of the second guide post.

200 400 200 400 200 400 The photosensitive chipis disposed on the second substrate. Optionally, the photosensitive chipcan be bonded to the second substrate, and certainly, the photosensitive chipcan also be connected to the second substratein other manners, which is not limited herein.

100 200 200 200 200 The lens is disposed on the base frame, the photosensitive chipis opposite to the lens, and the photosensitive chipcan be electrically connected to a motherboard of the electronic device through a flexible printed circuit board. In this case, the external light enters the photosensitive chipthrough the lens, and the photosensitive chipconverts the optical signal into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal to the motherboard, thus realizing the shooting function of the camera module.

510 511 511 100 300 511 300 400 200 610 610 The first driving mechanismincludes a first driving motor, the first driving motoris disposed on the base frameand connected to the first substrate. The first driving motordrives the first substrateto move, thereby driving the second substrateand the photosensitive chipto move in a first direction, where the first direction is parallel to the extension direction of the first guide post, which can also be understood as that the first direction is the extension direction of the first guide post.

520 521 521 100 300 400 521 200 400 620 620 The second driving mechanismincludes a second driving motor, the second driving motoris disposed on the base frameor the first substrateand is connected to the second substrate. The second driving motorenables the photosensitive chipto move in the second direction by driving the second substrate. The second direction herein is parallel to the extension direction of the second guide post, which can also be understood as that the second direction is the extension direction of the second guide post.

400 300 620 511 300 300 400 200 400 620 400 300 521 400 400 200 300 400 200 In this embodiment disclosed in this application, because the second substrateis movably connected to the first substratethrough the second guide post, when the first driving motordrives the first substrateto move, the first substratecan drive the second substrateand the photosensitive chipto move together. In addition, the second substrateis movably connected to the second guide post, and the second substrateand the first substratecan also move relative to each other, so that when the second driving motordrives the second substrateto move, the second substratecan also independently drive the photosensitive chipto move. Both the first substrateand the second substratecan drive the photosensitive chipto move, so that the jitter amount of the camera module can be compensated, and then the anti-jitter function can be realized to improve the image shooting quality of the electronic device.

610 300 620 400 610 620 200 200 200 In addition, the first guide postguides the first substrate, and the second guide postguides the second substrate, so the first guide postand the second guide postcan guide and limit a moving direction of the photosensitive chip, thereby improving the moving accuracy of the photosensitive chip, preventing the photosensitive chipfrom tilting or deviating during the moving process, and thus enabling the anti-jitter performance of the camera module to be better.

300 400 300 400 In addition, both the first substrateand the second substratecan move, so it is not easy for the first substrateand the second substrateto interact with each other, so that the camera module can move independently in two directions, and then the camera module can compensate in two directions, so as to improve the anti-jitter compensation range of the camera module.

300 400 200 In this embodiment disclosed in this application, both the first substrateand the second substrateare driven by a driving motor, and compared with the electromagnetic driving manner, the driving motor does not magnetize the components on the photosensitive chip, thus improving the security performance of the camera module.

300 400 510 520 300 400 200 In the anti-jitter process of the camera module, when the electronic device or a gyroscope inside the camera module detects that the camera module is tilted, the gyroscope transmits obtained data such as a tilt angle of the camera module to a control chip, and the control chip inputs a corresponding angle compensation amount. The control chip controls the first substrateand the second substrateto move through the first driving mechanismand the second driving mechanism, and the first substrateand the second substratedrive the photosensitive chipto realize angle compensation, thus realizing anti-jitter function of the camera module.

610 100 610 100 620 300 610 100 The first guide postin the above embodiment can be welded to the base frame. Certainly, the first guide postcan also be connected to the base framein other manners, which is not limited herein. The connection manner between the second guide postand the first substratemay be the same as that between the first guide postand the base frame.

521 100 300 521 300 300 521 521 100 521 400 300 300 521 100 In the above embodiment, the second driving motormay be disposed on the base frameor the first substrate. When the second driving motoris disposed on the first substrate, the first substratealso drives the second driving motorto move. When the second driving motoris disposed on the base frame, the second driving motorand the second substrateneed to avoid moving along the moving direction of the first substrate, so as to avoid a situation that the first substratecannot move. A structure in which the second driving motoris disposed on the base framewill be described in detail below, and will not be repeated herein again.

610 620 300 400 200 Optionally, the extension direction of the first guide postand the extension direction of the second guide postcan be parallel, that is, the moving direction of the first substrateand the moving direction of the second substrateare the same, so the first direction and the second direction are the same. This solution can increase the compensation range of the jitter amount of the photosensitive chipin the same direction.

610 620 610 620 200 200 200 200 200 Certainly, the extension direction of the first guide postmay intersect with the extension direction of the second guide post, that is, the first direction intersects with the second direction. In this case, the extension direction of at least one of the first guide postor the second guide postcan be along a length direction or a width direction of the photosensitive chip, and the extension direction of the other can be along a thickness direction of the photosensitive chip, that is, the extension direction of the other can be perpendicular to a photosensitive surface of the photosensitive chip. In this case, the guide post perpendicular to the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive chipis used to realize a focusing function of the photosensitive chip.

610 620 610 620 200 200 200 200 200 In another optional embodiment, the extension direction of the first guide postmay intersect with the extension direction of the second guide post, and a plane in which the first guide postand the second guide postare located may be parallel to a plane in which the photosensitive chipis located. In this solution, the photosensitive chipcan move along the plane in which the photosensitive chipis located, so the photosensitive chipcan move in two different directions, which improves the anti-jitter range of the photosensitive chip.

610 620 610 200 620 200 The extension direction of the first guide postmay be perpendicular to the extension direction of the second guide post. In this case, the extension direction of the first guide postmay be parallel to the length direction of the photosensitive chip. The extension direction of the second guide postmay be parallel to the width direction of the photosensitive chip.

510 511 300 510 512 511 300 512 300 512 512 300 300 300 300 In the above embodiment, the first driving mechanismmay further include a first transmission member, and the first driving motoris drivingly connected to the first substratethrough the first transmission member. Optionally, the first driving mechanismmay include a first screw rod, and the first driving motormay be in threaded connection with the first substratethrough the first screw rod. In this case, the first substrateis moved through the rotation of the first screw rod. However, because an area of thrust surface of the first screw rodon the first substrateis small, it is easy to cause the first substrateto be stressed only on one side, resulting in uneven stress on the first substrate, which causes the first substrateto tilt when moving.

513 515 512 511 300 512 513 513 300 511 300 512 513 515 100 515 300 515 610 Based on this, in another optional embodiment, the first transmission member may further include a first driving boardand a first elastic member, the first screw rodmay be connected to the first driving motor, the first substratemay be provided with a first through hole, the first screw rodmay pass through the first through hole and be in threaded connection with the first driving board, the first driving boardmay be in contact with the first substrate, and the first driving motormay drive the first substrateto move through the first screw rodand the first driving board. One end of the first elastic membercan be connected to the base frame, and the other end of the first elastic membercan be connected to the first substrate. An expansion direction of the first elastic memberis parallel to the extension direction of the first guide post.

511 512 512 513 513 300 515 513 300 300 511 512 513 300 515 300 200 In an operation process, when the camera module performs anti-jitter operation, the first driving motordrives the first screw rodto rotate, the first screw roddrives the first driving boardto move, and the first driving boardis in contact with the first substrate. In this case, the first elastic memberis compressed, and the first driving boardcan drive the first substrateto move along the moving direction thereof, thus realizing anti-jitter. When the first substrateis restored to an original position, the first driving motordrives the first screw rodto rotate in the opposite direction, so that the first driving boardremoves the acting force on the first substrate, and the first elastic memberrecovers the elastic deformation, thereby driving the first substrateto restore to the original position. The original position herein is the position of the photosensitive chipbefore the anti-jitter operation.

513 300 513 300 300 300 In this solution, the first driving boardis in contact with the first substrate. In this case, a contact area between the first driving boardand the first substrateis relatively large, so that the first substrateis more balanced in stress, and the first substrateis less prone to tilt when moving.

512 513 513 513 512 512 513 513 In the above embodiment, in order to prevent the first screw rodfrom driving the first driving boardto rotate, the gravity of the first driving boardshould be greater than the friction between the first driving boardand the first screw rod. In this case, the first screw rodcan only drive the first driving boardto move without driving the first driving boardto rotate together.

515 Optionally, the first elastic membercan be a spring, and certainly be other elastic members, which is not limited herein.

300 310 320 310 100 610 310 320 513 320 In another optional embodiment, the first substratemay include a first board bodyand a first extension componentof the first board bodyextending away from a side of the base frame, the first guide postis movably connected to the first board body, the first through hole is opened in the first extension component, and the first driving boardis in contact with the first extension component.

310 610 310 400 320 513 300 In this solution, the first board bodyis used to be connected to the first guide post, so the area of the first board bodyis large, which is used to provide the installation space for the second substrate. The first extension componentis used to contact with the first driving board, so a volume thereof can be set smaller, which enables the structure of the first substrateto be relatively simple and compact.

320 513 320 513 In the above embodiment, the first extension componentand the first driving boardare too tightly attached, which may easily cause the first extension componentand the first driving boardto stick together.

320 513 321 513 321 513 320 321 320 321 321 320 513 320 513 320 513 In another optional embodiment, a side of the first extension componenttowards the first driving boardmay be provided with a first protrusion, and the first driving boardis in contact with the first protrusion; or a side of the first driving boardtowards the first extension componentis provided with a first protrusion, and the first extension componentmay be in contact with the first protrusion. In this solution, the first protrusionenables a specific gap to be formed between the first extension componentand the first driving board, so as to prevent the first extension componentfrom sticking to the first driving boardtoo tightly, causing the first extension componentto stick to the first driving board.

610 610 310 610 300 610 610 300 300 In another optional embodiment, the number of the first guide postsis at least two, the at least two first guide postsmay be respectively located at opposite sides of the first board body, extension directions of the at least two first guide postsare in parallel. In this solution, both sides of the first substrateare provided with the first guide posts, so the first guide postson both sides can uniformly support the first substrate, thereby preventing the first substratefrom tilting to one side during the movement, and improving the anti-jitter performance of the camera module.

515 515 610 515 610 515 100 In another optional embodiment, the number of the first elastic membersis at least two, and at least one first elastic membercan be sleeved on the first guide post. In this solution, at least one first elastic membercan be sleeved on the first guide post, and the mounting space of the first elastic membercan be compressed on the base frame, thus enabling the structure of the camera module to be more optimized.

310 311 310 610 311 610 311 610 610 610 311 100 610 300 100 In another optional embodiment, the first board bodyhas a first side and a second side that are disposed oppositely, the first side may be provided with a first clamping component, the second side may be provided with a first guide hole penetrating through the first board body. One of the first guide postsis in clamped connection with the first clamping component, and another first guide postmay be sleeved in the first guide hole. In this solution, the first clamping componentis in an open structure, and therefore can be directly clamped on the first guide post. In the assembly process, one of the first guide postscan be sleeved in the first guide hole first, and then the first guide poston the other side can be clamped into the first clamping componentafter other parts of the base frameand the first guide postare installed, so that the first substratewill not affect the installation of other parts of the base frame, and the installation of the camera module is less difficult.

515 610 311 515 311 311 310 515 610 610 In another optional embodiment, one of the first elastic membersmay be sleeved on the first guide postcorresponding to the first clamping component, and one end of the first elastic memberis connected to the first clamping component. In this solution, because the first clamping componentprotrudes from the first board body, a volume thereof can be set smaller, so a larger installation position can be reserved for the first elastic memberon the first guide post, so that the length of the first guide postcan be set shorter, and the overall volume of the camera module is smaller.

514 511 512 514 511 512 514 511 514 510 300 514 300 In another optional embodiment, the first transmission member further includes a first gear set, the first driving motorand the first screw rodare connected through the first gear set, and the first driving motormay drive the first screw rodto rotate through the first gear set. In this solution, the transmission direction of the power of the first driving motorcan be changed through the first gear set, so that the setting positions of the first driving mechanismand the first substrateare more flexible. In addition, by changing diameters of gears in the first gear set, a moving rate of the first substratecan be increased or decreased, thus meeting the anti-jitter requirements of the camera module.

100 512 512 In the above embodiment, the base frameis provided with a first supporting protrusion for supporting the first screw rod, and the first screw rodcan rotate relatively to the first supporting protrusion.

521 300 300 521 300 300 In the above embodiment, the second driving motorcan be disposed on the first substrate. In this case, when moving, the first substratedrives the second driving motorto move, thus increasing the weight of the first substrate, thus easily affecting the moving rate of the first substrate.

521 100 520 522 523 525 400 522 523 523 400 521 400 522 523 Based on this, in another optional embodiment, the second driving motormay be disposed on the base frame. The second driving mechanismmay further include a second transmission member, the second transmission member includes a second screw rod, a second driving board, and a second elastic member, the second substratemay be provided with a second through hole, the second screw rodmay pass through the second through hole and is in threaded connection with the second driving board, the second driving boardmay be in contact with the second substrate, and the second driving motormay drive the second substrateto move through the second screw rodand the second driving board.

522 The second screw rodcan move along the extension direction of the first guide post relative to the second through hole.

525 100 300 525 400 525 620 One end of the second elastic memberis connected to the base frameand/or the first substrate, the other end of the second elastic memberis connected to the second substrate, and an expansion direction of the second elastic membermay be parallel to the extension direction of the second guide post.

521 100 300 300 In this solution, the second driving motoris disposed on the base frame, so the weight of the first substrateis relatively small, thereby improving the moving rate of the first substrate.

522 In this embodiment, the second screw rodcan move along the extension direction of the first guide post relative to the second through hole.

300 400 522 400 300 300 During the movement of the first substrate, the second substratecan avoid the second screw rodthrough the second through hole, so that the second substratecan move with the first substrate, thus avoiding the situation that the first substrateis pinned.

521 522 522 523 523 400 525 523 400 400 521 522 523 400 525 400 200 In an operation process, when the camera module performs anti-jitter operation, the second driving motordrives the second screw rodto rotate, the second screw roddrives the second driving boardto move, and the second driving boardis in contact with the second substrate. In this case, the second elastic memberis compressed, and the second driving boardcan drive the second substrateto move along the moving direction thereof, thus realizing anti-jitter. When the second substrateis restored to an original position, the second driving motordrives the second screw rodto rotate in the opposite direction, so that the second driving boardremoves the acting force on the second substrate, and the second elastic memberrecovers the elastic deformation, thereby driving the second substrateto restore to the original position. The original position herein is the position of the photosensitive chipbefore the anti-jitter operation.

523 400 523 400 400 400 In the above embodiment, the second driving boardis in contact with the second substrate. In this case, a contact area between the second driving boardand the second substrateis relatively large, so that the second substrateis more balanced in stress, and the second substrateis less prone to tilt when moving.

522 523 523 523 522 522 523 523 In the above embodiment, in order to prevent the second screw rodfrom driving the second driving boardto rotate, the gravity of the second driving boardshould be greater than the friction between the second driving boardand the second screw rod. In this case, the second screw rodcan only drive the second driving boardto move without driving the second driving boardto rotate together.

525 610 Optionally, the second elastic membercan be a spring, and certainly be other elastic members, which is not limited herein. The second through hole may be a strip hole, and an extension direction of the strip hole may be the same as the extension direction of the first guide post.

In this solution, the second board bodyis used to be connected to the second guide post, so the area of the second board bodyis large, which is used to provide the installation space for the photosensitive chip. The second extension componentis used to contact with the second driving board, so a volume thereof can be set smaller, which enables the structure of the second substrateto be relatively simple and compact.

420 523 610 320 523 420 523 300 400 610 In the above embodiment, the second extension componentand the second driving boardcan slide relative to each other along the extension direction of the first guide post, and the first extension componentand the second driving boardare attached too tightly, which may easily cause excessive friction between the second extension componentand the second driving board, thus affecting the moving rate of the first substrateand the second substratealong the extension direction of the first guide post, and affecting the anti-jitter performance of the camera module.

420 523 421 523 421 421 523 420 420 523 420 523 300 400 610 Based on this, in another optional embodiment, the side of the second extension componenttowards the second driving boardis provided with a second protrusion, and the second driving boardcan contact with the second protrusion. In this solution, the second protrusioncan reduce a contact surface area between the second driving boardand the second extension component, thus reducing the friction between the second extension componentand the second driving board, making it easy for the second extension componentand the second driving boardto slide relative to each other, and not easily affecting the moving rate of the first substrateand the second substratealong the extension direction of the first guide post, so as to improve the anti-jitter performance of the camera module.

The effect achieved in this solution is the same as that in the above solution, and details are not described herein again.

421 420 523 420 523 420 523 In addition, in above two solutions, the second protrusionenables a specific gap to be formed between the second extension componentand the second driving board, so as to prevent the second extension componentfrom sticking to the second driving boardtoo tightly, causing the second extension componentto stick to the second driving board.

525 525 620 525 620 525 100 300 In another solution, the number of the second elastic membersmay be at least two, and at least one second elastic membercan be sleeved on the second guide post. In this solution, at least one second elastic memberis sleeved on the second guide post, and the mounting space of the second elastic membercan be compressed on the base frameor the first substrate, thus enabling the structure of the camera module to be more optimized.

Another second elastic membermay be sleeved on the second guide postcorresponding to the second clamping componentwith one end being connected to the first substrateand the other end being connected to the second clamping component. In this solution, because the second clamping componentprotrudes from the second board body, a volume thereof can be set smaller, so a larger installation position can be reserved for the second elastic memberon the second guide post, so that the length of the second guide postcan be set shorter, and the overall volume of the camera module is smaller.
